The actor on her Dua Lipa faux pas, restless legs syndrome, and a shock realisation at a housewarming party Born in Bristol, Tuppence Middleton, 39, trained at ArtsEd in London before appearing in films The Imitation Game and Mank. Her stage roles include The Motive and the Cue at the National Theatre, and her TV work spans Sense8 , War and Peace, The Forsytes and the next series of Slow Horses. Since the age of 11, she has had obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which she writes about in Scorpions , out in paperback on 21 May. She lives in London with Swedish film director Måns Mårlind and their child. What is your greatest fear? Endless vomiting. That comes from my emetophobia, which is a huge part of my OCD.

An erudite account of the foundation of the state and its subsequent moral and political decline Israel’s attack on Iran is only the most recent example of its degeneration in recent decades, coming on top of its illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories, ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, genocide in Gaza, invasion of Syria and relentless bombardment of Lebanon. The fact that the US joine...
An erudite account of the foundation of the state and its subsequent moral and political decline Israel’s attack on Iran is only the most recent example of its degeneration in recent decades, coming on top of its illegal occupation of the Palestinian territories, ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, genocide in Gaza, invasion of Syria and relentless bombardment of Lebanon. The fact that the US joined in this illegal war confirmed to many in the region what they have long suspected: that the country is an outpost of western imperialism in the Middle East. The state of Israel, which arose from the ashes of the Holocaust 77 years ago, has received an unprecedented degree of international sympathy and support ever since. This support was partly due to western guilt and partly due to the perception of the Jewish state as an island of democracy in a sea of authoritarianism. The country’s Declaration of Independence promised to uphold “the full social and political equality of all its citizens without distinction of race, creed or sex”. In the early years of statehood, Israel was seen in the west as an icon of liberal, progressive and egalitarian society. Continue reading...
Judges have been fired or taken buyouts, and those remaining say they toe the government line David Koelsch, a former immigration judge based in Maryland, was in Minneapolis visiting his mother and sister the day Alex Pretti was shot and killed by federal agents. He drove to Nicollet Avenue, parked a few blocks away, and walked toward the scene. “I didn’t go there to protest. I didn’t bring a sign...
Judges have been fired or taken buyouts, and those remaining say they toe the government line David Koelsch, a former immigration judge based in Maryland, was in Minneapolis visiting his mother and sister the day Alex Pretti was shot and killed by federal agents. He drove to Nicollet Avenue, parked a few blocks away, and walked toward the scene. “I didn’t go there to protest. I didn’t bring a sign. I didn’t bring anything. I just went to stand and bear witness,” Koelsch said. Continue reading...

Rising tide of censorship is spreading, reshaping what students are permitted to read, learn and think Maia Kobabe wrote Gender Queer as a tender attempt to explain non-binary identity and the journey of sexual discovery to immediate family. “I tried to make it as sensitive and thoughtful as possible, especially given that I knew that my mother would read it ,” the author says. “I was trying to build bridges, trying to connect with people , trying to be understood as my full authentic self by my family and my friends and my community.” But then came culture wars and a concerted effort by reactionary forces to turn back the clock. For three consecutive years, Gender Queer was the most challenged title by would-be book banners. Speaking from Santa Rosa, California, Kobabe, 36, recalls: “Many of the people who challenged my book in the early years, when it was conservative parents speaking up at school in board meetings, would hold it up and say this book is inappropriate or it’s pornography and then they would proudly say: ‘I’ve never read it.’” Continue reading...

The board of the vocational charity has shown a ‘catastrophic failure of governance’, according to a member of the group’s council The trustees of City & Guilds London Institute have been accused of attempting to dodge accountability for a “catastrophic failure of governance” by stalling on the launch of an independent inquiry into the £166m sale of the vocational charity’s training and accreditation business last October. Members of the 148-year-old body voted overwhelmingly last month for the trustee board to trigger what would be the third investigation into how the foundation sold its operations to the private operator PeopleCert in October.

Most stocks aren't chasing trillion-dollar opportunities. But the three growth stocks below are. If you're looking for big upside potential, one of these promising investment opportunities should be for you. According to Ark Invest Chief Executive Officer Cathie Wood, robotaxis will eventually become a $10 trillion global market. "We think US$8 [trillion] to US$10 trillion for the entire autonomous taxi opportunity throughout the world, from almost nothing," she told reporters last year. "That's how quickly AI is going to cause these things to happen." It's very likely that Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) will dominate this market. The company has unparalleled access to capital, huge existing manufacturing infrastructure, and a strategic investment in a top-tier AI company , xAI. But I actually think a smaller electric vehicle (EV) stock like Rivian (NASDAQ: RIVN) could be a better bet. Rivian's valuation is relatively tiny at $18 billion. Yet the company recently received a $1.25 billion order from Uber Technologies , which will use as many as 50,000 Rivian vehicles to power its own robotaxi division. Continue reading
